The contest, with the theme “Malaysia Di Mataku”, was organised by MoE with the aim of instilling in the young the spirit of patriotism, appreciating the feeling of independence and the country’s progress.
LIS principal Fadlin Aimuni Binting said the judging criteria included the contestants’ creativity, content and editing skills.
“With guidance from LIS’ performing arts teacher and the siblings’ mother Jessica Lee, Jewel and Nathania managed to impress the judges with their singing and dancing to a medley of patriotic songs.
“The students’ video content was interspersed with images of the truly Malaysians, national festivals and cultural delicacies. Undoubtedly, the video, which included picturesque scenes of Labuan, was also promoting Labuan across Malaysia,” she said.
